Hi,
It never happened to me (USB debug always on, in case of emergency), but someone on instructables had the same issue (broken screen/debug off). He managed to enable it via the cerberus app. A bit slow from what he says, but seems to work well. He provides a full walkthrough. Ask goo for cerberus-broken screen- debug...You should find it easily.
Hope it helps,
Good luck

Ever sincec I got my LG G3 Stylus, I've got this issue that keeps bothering me a lot. I've searched the net, the phone's configs and etc and got nothing.
Since the phone is on warranty still, I decided not to root it yet (doesn't give me a lot of advantages doing so)
However, whenever I'm using the phone to do stuff, be it watching a video on youtube app, using facebook app, or any other app for instance, sometimes I accidentally touch the screen with my fingers or arm, and it locks. Like a screen lock that happens when you press the lock button behind it. I've searched in every option available on the phone and didn't find anything that could turn out to be a screen lock shortcut or something similar.
Anyone have an Idea what might be triggering the screen lock?

I'm not entirely sure how is that post related to my issue, they report that their phones are stuck on the logo, while I'm having issues with random screen locks (probably a touch shortcut)
Hello, first of all, sorry if I'm wrong section or if my English sucks but is my first discussion on xda.
I have a big problem with my 5x nexus since yesterday morning when i turn on the screen there are some lines that prevent me from using the phone, i'll explain it better, the screen is locked, but the cellphone seems to work because i feel the vibration of the unlock And even the sound, the phone is normally detected by the PC, both in mass memory and in fastboot and adb. The only way I have to use it is to turn off and turn on the screen several times (about 50 or more), and every now and then the screen returns normal, and until the shutter closes the cellphone works perfectly. I thought it was an old rom problem since i had the nexus in April, then yesterday i completely deleted it (system, recovery, cache etc.) i even put everything back to root without root and then i put the google pixel rom, and it seemed It works, but this is the same again this morning. The strange thing that made me worried is that it happens the same even when I go into recovery, fastboot or even while the cellphone starts. To change the rom or do else i used the nexus root toolkit, and there is also the function that makes the screen on screen and seeing the photo on your computer comes out of the normal unlock screen ... I do not know more than do. (I forgot while this screen is present the touch does not work). I could not upload a photo here, but I found a similar image on the internet (I can not put it because I'm a new user )

Hi everyone,
I got on my hands an s6 with a broken screen, glass is fine, but it stays black.
I'd like to kinda recover it somehow, but I'm afraid it's not just a "screen issue", so I'd like to test it mirroring its screen via usb (unfortunately S6 doesn't support HDMI). The point is that s6 needs usb-debug to be turned on in order to do this.
I thought about how to blindly enable it helping myself with my main s6 side-by-side, but I'm not sure what Android version the broken one mounts (probably it's not been updated since it was bought), so it seemed not to work.
Is there a way to turn it on, maybe flashing a tweaked kernel? Would you suggest any other solution?
Hi guys,
i have a crappy problem with my mother-in-law's phone (please abstein from jokes )
So she put her p8 lite (the model is not relevant) in the washing mashine, turned on. She realized pretty soon what she did and managed to take it out.
Having no experience in these things, she saw that it was still on (with bubbles of water under the glass but with the screen still on) and she panicked.
Now she gave it to me: the screen is all black but the phone works: i can take pictures with the volume shortcuts and see the memory (and successfully copy files).
Here's the problem: she doesn't remember her gmail associate account and usb debug was not on.
Is there a way i can find this out? All her contacts are there, plus whatsapp and everything else.
I thought about fastbooting it but without any screen its very difficult to do so...
Thanks a lot!
